Vantaggi

- Work Life Balance - Amount of work available - Easiness of rotating in company

Svantaggi

- Pay (lower than industry) - Benefits (cuts every year) - Career development A word of caution, Northrop recently made large cuts to their Education Assistance program. This program is what drew me and many of my other young co-workers to Northrop. The cuts have now made it infeasible to complete a Master’s degree without acquiring student debt or paying large amounts of money out of pocket. These recent cuts feel like a bait and switch. In the interview they promised funding for a Master’s Degree without needing to take out a loan or pay out of pocket. Now, after enrolling and taking classes they’ve taken away the majority of funding. Even though I can’t complete my degree due to their changes, I still owe them money for the classes I completed under the previous benefit level. Now, I’m forced to work 2 more years in order to erase the money owed to Northrop for a degree I can’t feasibly finish due to their benefit changes. Northrop has alienated a large portion of their young professional workforce. I do not recommend Northrop Grumman, especially if you are a young professional. I wish I could go back and chose a company that was more interested in career development of young professionals.

Vantaggi

Steady work and interesting projects. Really positive culture with engaged Employee Resource Groups. A good mix of long-term managers, and those moving up. Reverse commute from a good chunk of Los Angeles along the 101. Benefits standard good. Getting paid for extra hours during crunch times is nice vs. standard salary for most engineering companies. Still salary when there are brief lulls in projects.

Svantaggi

Bad commute from Ventura Big return to site push even for roles that don't need it.

Vantaggi

Job security, nearly impossible to get laid off, Hours for most people are consistent, generally a good benefits package. You are able to jump around laterally within the company very easily. Once you get to T3 and above the salary becomes decent for prime standards. Easy, almost non-existent interviews.

Svantaggi

Not moving fast enough in the current defense market. Lots of red-tape. Turnover at specific sites are insanely high. Promotions take forever and the increase in salary is minimal. They don't care about retention. They will let you walk and give your replacement a sign-on bonus and a higher salary. There are a lot of slackers and old timers riding it out till retirement. Only about a 1/3 of this site is actually productive. Yes-men get into management and ignore technical experts. Agile hiring is a huge issue where people are just thrown onto random teams. Easy, almost non-existent interviews allow people without relevant backgrounds to join teams. Every site operates completely differently.
